What did you write？”The man said，“I only wrote the truth，I said what you said，but in a different way.”What he had written was，“Today is a beautiful day，but I cant see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind.But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat.The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day，but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind，while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.The first is: Treasure what you have.Someone else has less.Try your best to help those who need your help.The second is: Be creative.Think differently.There is always a better way.( C )1.From the passage we know that_Athe boy is the mans sonBthe man is one of the boys neighborsCthe boy is blind and needs help( C )2.On the sign what the man wrote was，“_”ATreasure what we have already hadBToday is a beautiful day，but I cant see itCWe are so lucky that we are not blind( A )3.According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?AThe hat began to fill up after the man wrote some words on the sign.BThe man took away all the few coins from the hat.CThe boy wanted to get enough money to go to school.( B )4.The underlined word“Treasure”here in Chinese means“_”A承认B珍惜C允许( B )5.The best title for his story is_AGiving makes receivingBBe kind and creativeCBe kind to the blindBI lost both of my parents in a car accident when I was five. Fortunately, at that age a child doesnt understand the finality of such an event.Many years later, at the age of twenty-three, I was planning my wedding to Sheldon, who came from a complete loving family, the type I expect. Sheldon and I had already bought our first home with a large, beautifully landscaped yard. As the date grew closer and we owned our home.The day before our wedding we were working on the yard. We were so pleased with everything there. But one plant puzzled us. A rosebush which stood just outside our front door looked like it might be dead, but since neither of us could be sure, we decided to keep it for some time.That same evening, after the dinner, I was too excited to sleep. So I decided I needed some quiet time to reflect on the next day. I went to the backyard and sat in the warm, clear, star-filled night. It was there that I realized the only thing missing from my wedding day would be my parents. There had been no time to think of this until now and the thought filled me with sadness. After all, every girl dreams of having her father wait her down the aisle and her mother there to comfort her. Alone in the yard, I began speaking to my mom and dad, just as I had known they were listening.“Give me a sign on my wedding day to let me know youre with me.”The next day Sheldons excited voice repeatedly called my name. I rushed to join him at the front door.“I cant believe what Im about to show you!”The barren rosebush had two huge roses in full bloom.There was no doubt in my mind that we were witnessing a miraclea miracle of love.16.
